Damage Control is a game similar to Rampart.
The source code is released under the MIT License
The music, sounds, and art are available under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
The font used is Mecha by Captain Falcon
Just grab the most recent
release for your platorm,
unpack it, and run the damage_control executable.
The linux binaries are statically linked to Allegro5, but other dependencies are dynamically linked. The Windows binaries just come packaged with a bunch of .dll files.
You will need a D compiler and
dub to compile the game,
aseprite to generate the images, and
lmms to compile the music. You must use a recent version of
LMMS (one which supports --loop, which is not in the current release).
Running make should do the trick. This will invoke dub to compile the code,
aseprite to export .ase files to .png, and lmms to export .mmpz files
to .ogg. You can usually ignore complaints that lmms failed to export a
file. This is a known bug where
lmms will segfault at the end of rendering but still produce the output file.
To link statically to Allegro, invoke make debug-static or
make release-static.
Make sure you run git submodule update --init first to get the allegro
sources.
At the start of a match, you get to pick one of several starting locations. Now you just need to survive for a few rounds. Each round, you will:
- Place turrets within your territory
- Fend off enemies, taking them down with your turrets
- Place walls to repair the damage done
If, at the end of a round, you have no territory, you are defeated. Territory is defined as an area completely enclosed by walls. The more territory you enclose, the more turrets you can place. Each turret has limited ammo -- at the end of each round, you gain 6 ammo for each base you have enclosed (bases are the squarish things on the map).
Don't forget that you can use Q/E (default) to rotate blocks and hold shift (default) to move the cursor faster .
